Nothing you just posted is relevant to the conversation.
Most HN readers can't quit their job on a whim without putting their household in jeopardy. That's the sentiment you're responding to.
- FredPret 2y agoBe that as it may, it's a real solution for many. Calling out a solution as "privileged" adds nothing to this site. You have a job at all? You have the brain and attention span to read this far? You can use computers to solve problems? That's a privilege. And yet we don't point that out every time a programming or career or product question is asked and answered. Perhaps OP could have added something a bit gentler like "quit your job - if you can". But it's fundamentally a sound plan for many of us, and crucially, also even for many of us who aren't aware how much market power they really have.
